Tropical Cyclone Wind Estimation Using Synthetic Aperture Radar
We have investigated various SAR images of tropical cyclones, which were acquired by the SAR aboard the satellites ENVISAT and RADARSAT-1 at different polarizations and incidence angles, using a similar approach as suggested by Horstmann et al., 2005 [1]. The resulting SAR-retrieved wind fields are compared to results of high-resolution numerical models as well as in situ measurements collected...
متن کاملNonlocality of Atlantic tropical cyclone intensities
5 [1] The assumption that tropical cyclones respond primarily to sea surface temperatures (SSTs) local to 6 their main development regions underlies much of the concern regarding the possible impacts of 7 anthropogenic greenhouse warming on tropical cyclone statistics. Here the observed relationship between 8 changes in sea surface temperature and tropical cyclone intensities in the Atlantic ba...
متن کاملReexamination of Tropical Cyclone Wind–Pressure Relationships
Tropical cyclone wind–pressure relationships are reexamined using 15 yr of minimum sea level pressure estimates, numerical analysis fields, and best-track intensities. Minimum sea level pressure is estimated from aircraft reconnaissance or measured from dropwindsondes, and maximum wind speeds are interpolated from best-track maximum 1-min wind speed estimates. The aircraft data were collected p...
متن کاملEvolution of North Atlantic ERA40 tropical cyclone representation
[1] The evolving representation of Atlantic tropical cyclones (TCs) in the ERA40 reanalysis dataset from 1957 through 2001 is analyzed using metrics of intensity and the three-dimensional cyclone phase space. On average, TC structural representation within the ERA40 has shifted two Saffir-Simpson (SS) categories over the 45 years. Thus, a category three TC during 1957–1971 is comparable in ERA4...
متن کاملOn Estimates of Historical North Atlantic Tropical Cyclone Activity*
In this study, an estimate of the expected number of Atlantic tropical cyclones (TCs) that were missed by the observing system in the presatellite era (between 1878 and 1965) is developed. The significance of trends in both number and duration since 1878 is assessed and these results are related to estimated changes in sea surface temperature (SST) over the “main development region” (“MDR”). Th...
